Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal announces resignation

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday announced his resignation to protest the blocking of an anti-corruption bill, fewer than 50 days after taking office in the Indian capital.

“My cabinet has decided that we are quitting,” Kejriwal told supporters of his Aam Aadmi (“Common Man”) Party at a rally in the capital. “Here is my resignation letter,” he added, brandishing a white sheet of paper as his followers cheered.
